Mounties set to ride into sunset, Ottawa warns

■ O FF A ND R UNNING

Policing contract talks hit new level of brinkmanship Jeff Nagel Black Press Ottawa is threatening to start pulling the RCMP out of B.C. in 2014 if the province and cities don’t sign a new 20-year policing contract by the end of November. Solicitor General Shirley Bond characterized it as an “ultimatum” from the federal government in a briefing session with delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention Tuesday. The federal move ups the ante from last month, when Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender publicly warned B.C. cities were prepared to consider abandoning the Mounties and forming a provincial force rather than sign an unpalatable RCMP contract. Some mayors at the UBCM briefing said it appears Ottawa has called B.C.’s bluff. So far both Bond and Fassbender – who represents cities – say they want to keep the RCMP in B.C., but not at any cost. “We are very concerned about the future of this negotiation,” Bond said. She said the notion of pursuing a “Plan B” – a provincial police force – is a “very expensive, very challenging” scenario to contemplate. “I’d be enormously disappointed as a Canadian to see the end of the national police force in Canada.” Bond said the federal negotiators have walked away from the table and so far refuse to resume negotiations. “We simply want our partners to come back to the table,” she said. B.C. found itself in a weakened bargaining position this summer after Alberta and Saskatchewan broke ranks and agreed to a new long-term RCMP contract that includes no reform of the cost-sharing formula or any movement on B.C. demands for measures to rein in the spiralling costs of policing.

More than 1,000 students and teachers took part in the annual school Terry Fox Run at Chilliwack secondary on Wednesday. Although community runs are often the most publicized Terry Fox Events, school runs are responsible for a majority of the funds raised by the Terry Fox Foundation. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

UFV looks to strengthen partnerships Former trades and tech dean appointed advisor Robert Freeman The Progress Harv McCullough is stepping down as UFV’s dean of trades and technology. But he’s agreed to stay on as an “interim advisor” to UFV President Mark Evered. “Harv is stepping down as dean but he’s committed to giving me about a day a week for the next year or so to be an advisor to me on community

development and partnerships,” Evered said. It’s those partnerships with Fraser Valley industries that provides employers with students trained in cutting edge technology – and the students with degrees in business and other fields – that makes UFV unique among trades and technology schools. And McCullough, born and raised in Chilliwack, has a lifetime of contacts in the Fraser Valley. “That’s the part I really enjoy – keeping connected and listening to people who know what’s going on in their industry,” he said.

“If you don’t respond to what the future employers want, or what’s going to be the new technology in a year or two – we’ll be hooped,” he said. “That’s the whole concept we’ve followed all the way along.” McCullough started his 26-year career in education as a carpentry instructor at the community college that would eventually become the University of the Fraser Valley. UFV is a regional university, and its mandate is to serve the needs of the Fraser Valley. “The only way you can do that is to meet with people on an on-going basis and listen to what

they say,” McCullough said. The partnerships he has formed with local industries over the years has led to donations of state-of-the-art equipment for students training for careers in automotive mechanics, the aerospace industry, hospitality and culinary arts, plus the traditional trades. “It’s a real tribute to Harv’s talent and commitment that we’ve been able to integrate trades and technology into the university framework,” Evered said, which means students get a traditional university degree along with skills training.

approach” that would address the problems of mental illness and poverty that lead to crime. And the crime rate in Canada is already falling, she said. “We all want to see a system where we have justice,” she said. “But it’s the difference between being tough on crime and being smart about crime.” Strahl said the bill will put “serious criminals” behind bars for crimes they might have gotten only house arrest or probation. “We’re talking here about a large

number of crimes being committed by repeat offenders,” he said. “If somebody’s behind bars, they can’t reoffend.” Some of the provisions of the new bill include: • increased penalties for sexual offences against children, as well as two new offences aimed at conduct that facilitates or enables sexual offences against a child; • tougher sentences for the production and possession of illegal drugs for trafficking purposes;

Who killed Karver Morford?

Suspect nabbed for firearms charges

The Progress “Get used to it.” That’s what Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl is saying to opposition MPs crying foul after the Conservative government muscled an omnibus crime bill through Parliament with its new majority . Conservative MPs voted this week to limit debate on Bill C-10, which will now go to a committee dominated by the Conservatives

for further study. Liberal and NDP MPs had shot down most of the nine bills now “bundled” in the new Safe Streets and Communities Act when the Conservatives had only a minority government. But Strahl said the new lawand-order legislation has already been “debated extensively” and it delivers on a campaign promise made by the Conservatives in the last election. “We received a strong mandate to crack down on crime,” he said.

“Certainly in the Fraser Canyon I got that message loud and clear.” Gwen O’Mahony, an NDP candidate who ran against Strahl in the last election, said she worries about the cost of enforcing the new bill and the “mega-prisons” that will need to be built. “Where’s the money going to come from?” she asked. “Are we going to cut other badly-needed programs to pay for prisons?” She criticized the Conservatives for taking a political approach rather than a “multi-disciplinary

Somebody knows what happened on that secluded Ryder Lake property nearly a year ago.

Jessica Peters Black Press Ryan Linklater, 27, will soon face a judge for a series of firearmsrelated charge, following reports of shots being fired at a motorist in Agassiz. Last Friday, police received a call that shots were being fired from a grey Ford F-150 truck by a male driver. The truck was traveling north on Hot Springs Road when the shots were fired, and police quickly set up a roadblock near Strikers Corner to locate a suspect. They also searched nearby houses, and found Linklater in a residence on Cheam Road. Police say they surrounded the house and made two requests for the suspect to come out before he complied. He was arrested without further incident. A woman who was a passenger at the time of the alleged shooting was also located. Police say the gun used in the incident was a flare gun, shot at a passing motorist. The charges being recommended against Linklater include careless use of a firearm, possession of a weapon, assault with a weapon, and uttering threats. Linklater, who lives in Rosedale, is scheduled to appear in a Chilliwack courtroom on October 11.

Robert Freeman The Progress RCMP homicide investigators are saying little publicly about the death of 35-year-old Karver Morford, in a remote Ryder Lake house, sometime during a rainy weekend last November. But it’s clear from the pain etched in the faces of his father Jim, mother Judy and older brother Jade that it was a savage and senseless act that snuffed the life of this quiet and reclusive young man. The family is pleading for anyone who knows anything about Karver’s death to call the tip line set up by the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team at 1-877-551-IHIT or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. “I cannot give any details of the case,” Karver’s father Jim said. “But I will say that the perpetrators were the ultimate cowards in their actions.” “The only thing of value Karver had was his life - and that’s what they took,” his bewildered mother Judy said. Why anyone would want to hurt their son, a gentle man who enjoyed his privacy but was well-regarded by all who met him is “unfathomable” to the family. And for anyone to think that Karver was up to anything illegal in his secluded Ryder Lake home, or that he somehow deserved what happened to him, Judy said, grappling for words, “that’s so ...” “Wrong,” said Jade, finishing his mother’s sentence. While his brother “liked his privacy,” Jade said, he had formed “solid bonds” with the friends he did make. “All the people he met, they were solid connections, solid bonds,” he said. It was Jim who found his son’s

body on Monday, Nov. 8, inside the rustic Ryder Lake house. Judy had seen Karver just two days earlier on Saturday, Nov. 6. Sometime in between, someone made their way up the kilometrelong driveway, a rutted and overgrown pathway, to the house where Karver’s blue and grey Ford 250 pickup was parked outside. What happened next only the perpetrators can say. “Karver’s nightmare began and ended on that date, but ours goes on and on,” Judy said. “We know we can’t bring him back,” she added, “but someone must know something, even if it’s just who could be capable of such an act.” Jim said it would take a “particular kind of person” to commit such a brutal crime.

“It was a home invasion, and it was brutal, absolutely brutal,” he said. “I think the community should be outraged,” Judy said, “that there’s a killer on the loose out there, who would go and take the life of an innocent man.” She doesn’t want to spark unnecessary fears, but she believes this isn’t the first time the perpetrator has killed - and it could happen again. “You don’t usually start out with murder ... this is probably not their first and quite possibly not their last,” she said. Karver left school and shied away from socializing after he was diagnosed with epilepsy when he was fourteen years old. Over the following years he kept busy “re-inventing” himself as a cowboy in Ashcroft and a logger in Kitimat, but he returned to live in the

Chilliwack area where he enjoyed the outdoor life and keeping up with his friends. “He was always keen on keeping up with what other people he had known were up to, and was fond of reminiscing about the adventures he’d had with everyone along the way,” his mother recalled in a memorial tribute. “He had what he once called a ‘photogenic’ memory of the people and events in his life, and what he didn’t remember he was still quite handy at making up,” she said. “No one has the right to take someone else’s life, and especially not to just get away with it,” she said. “As his family, friends, and community, we can only carry on by doing all we can to help, and by believing that justice will someday be served.” rfreeman@theprogress.com

Getting to know Herm Kovits

Press here… www.theprogress.com Your community at your fingertips!

I was reading an article the other day about companies that are successful because of the humility that their leaders possess. The leaders, it stated, were a complex, paradoxical mix of intense professional will and extreme personal humility. How refreshing! It gets tiresome having to listen to or watch the actions of some who act as if they’re bigger than life. They’re what we’d call ‘legends in their own mind.’ I had the pleasure of chatting with Herm Kovits the other day and although you can clearly tell that he’s a giving, intelligent, kind-hearted and very successful individual, he’s also a very virtuous man and this, above all things, makes him worth his weight in gold. Herm’s parents immigrated to Canada from Austria in an attempt to make a better life for themselves. “They were basically poor but they were hard workers who knew farming well since their families had farmed the land over in Austria for 500 years,” he said. They met in Canada and married soon thereafter and began working on a farm in Saskatchewan, near Lloydminster. As it turned out, the farmer that they worked for owned property in Prince George and they were encouraged to relocate to the northern community to farm the land. “They packed up the family and we moved but when we arrived in Prince George it was quite clear to my dad that the property could not be farmed and he became a logger instead,” he said. After logging for awhile, Herm’s father became a good friend of a master carpenter who offered him a job. “Dad was a very hard-working, intelligent man and over time be

became a very good carpenter and ended up doing it for the rest of his life,” he said. Herm was the eldest of four boys and growing up in Prince George was always an adventure. “We lived on the banks of the Nechako River, where it joins the Fraser and one spring my brother and I nearly drowned. Water seems to attract boys and one thing led to another and we almost died,” he smiled. Herm was very active in sports and played Ana baseball, soccer, badminton MACEDO and basketball. The boys also learned the meaning of hard work. “We grew gardens so we learned how to hoe and we also had chickens, pigs and cows and had to take care of them,” he said. While still in school, he worked on Saturdays for a small grocery outfit and being that he was quite discerning and rather intelligent, he quickly learned the retail and wholesale aspects of the grocery industry. After graduating from high school, he was offered a job as manager of one of the grocery stores but decided that he needed to ride the rails as a way of discovering Canada. “I travelled by train from Prince George to Montreal and certainly saw a lot.” Herm had resolved, through this time, that he wanted to be his own boss; he liked science, he liked people and he liked to help others. “I knew that I didn’t want to become a medical doctor because I didn’t want to be on call 24/7. I looked into optometry but there weren’t

many schools back then so I decided on dentistry,” he said. He earned his science degree from UBC before joining the Faculty of Dentistry at McGill University. While he was at UBC, Herm got involved in rowing, where he earned great success. His team competed extensively and were regular winners. “We took a gold medal at the 1954 Commonwealth Games and my team members, along with a couple of others, went on to receive gold and silver medals at the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne, Australia. They were also successful at the 1958 British Empire Games and the 1960 Olympic Games,” he said, proudly. Herm is also a top, fastball athlete and for all of his dedication and success in the world of sport, he has been named to the UBC Sports Hall of Fame, the BC Sports Hall of Fame and the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame. While studying at McGill University, he met the love of his life, Brenda. She not only became his best friend but also his wife. “After graduating, we came back to BC. Back then, you could set up practice anywhere and I had anticipated doing so in Prince George because they needed dentists up there quite badly. However, I came out to the Valley with a dental sales rep and our final stop was in Chilliwack. Here, I had the pleasure of meeting Jack Barber’s widow. Jack was a dentist who had passed away and she told me that she was selling his practice. I bought it and we’ve been here ever since,” he explained methodically. Herm was a credit to his profession. Not only was he an accomplished dentist but after awhile, he resolved to get into Interceptive Orthodontics.

“This was in the 60s when the closest orthodontists were in New West. I wanted to help people and I knew that most of the people that needed the work weren’t going to drive into New West. The highway wasn’t what it is today, you know. I started taking a lot of courses in the fundamentals of orthodontics and I found this work very satisfying.” In 1991, after 34 years of practicing dentistry, Herm decided to retire. “I retired early because my wonderful wife and best friend developed breast cancer and I knew what I had to do. I count my blessings every day. We are both healthy and we enjoy travelling all over the world. My family is and has always been so very important to me. I was very involved with my children when they were growing up and even coached minor baseball and soccer. Now, we have terrific grandchildren and I’m so proud of all of them. My granddaughter is going into medicine and another grandchild is in engineering,” he said, evidently moved. While Herm was quite involved with dental industry associations, including the Chilliwack Dental Society, the Fraser Valley Dental Society and was a representative of the Fraser Valley College of Dental Surgeons for four years, he shied away from other groups in an effort to dedicate any other free time to his family. Once they had grown and especially now that he is retired, he remains an active member of the Chilliwack Rotary Club and is a founding board member and past chair of the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve Society, amongst others.

Wearing hearing aids is not new to me as I’ve had them for close to eight years. I had been reading about the newer technology and smaller hearing aids that are now available, but I was hesitant to go through the process of getting new ones. The last pair I got took weeks of adjusting, screeching, not a pleasant experience. Once I got them tweaked they seem to do the trick. Although I didn’t purchase my Àrst pair at Crystal Hearing Centre I had heard good things about them, so I went in and explained that I might want to buy new hearing aids. The no pressure approach and the new technology of my “in the ear” hearing aids made the purchase easy and hassle free. I wish I would have gone earlier! The best thing was the tweaking process was almost non-existent and there is no old screeching in my ear anymore. If you have older hearing aids, don’t waste time, get in and see the professionals at Crystal Hearing Centre today! Walter M.

B.C. cities remain deeply suspicious of the province’s plan to unleash a municipal auditor-general to uncover their wasteful spending despite government assurances the findings will be non-binding. Civic reps ripped into the idea Tuesday at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, raising questions about the costs and potential loss of local autonomy. “To me this is redundant,” said Nelson Coun. Robin Cherbo, who said the province should turn over the money that it would spend on the office to cities to shore up aging infrastructure. “Who is going to do a value-for-money audit on the municipal auditor-general?” demanded Oliver Mayor Pat Hampson. Delta Coun. Br uce MacDonald wanted to know if the spending watchdog might press Delta to give up its municipal police force. They spoke after Community, Spor t and Cultural Development Minister Ida Chong told

UBCM delegates the province will pass enabling legislation in October to set up a municipal auditor-general. She urged cities to work with her to “shape” the office and determine how it works.

Business and industr y groups have long wanted to curb what they see as overspending by cities on questionable priorities. They also want caps on business and industrial tax

“

We all want to look at value for money ~ Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore

”

“It’s not another layer of bureaucracy,” Chong said. “It should be treated as a benefit, a resource.” Chong pledged the province will pay for the municipal auditor costs – a key concern of the UBCM. She said cities will decide whether to implement recommendations, but added councils that don’t will be answerable to their taxpayers. The office would conduct a limited number of value-formoney performance audits on cities or civic projects.

rates, which councils say could force up residential rates. Chong and deputy minister Don Fast stressed the auditor wouldn’t seek to alter the policies of elected councils or their taxation rates. The goal, Fast said, is to deliver independent, professional advice that is “not controlled by government, not controlled by business.” UBCM officials said the planned municipal auditor – a Liberal leadership campaign promise of Premier Christy

Clark – still needs a lot more work to make it work. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan questioned whether the province might still pressure cities to act on the auditor’s recommendations. Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, Metro Vancouver’s representative on the UBCM executive, said much monitoring of civic best practices is already done and shared throughout the province by the UBCM. “We all want to look at value for money,” Moore said, but added it remains unclear how far the recommendations might go or how the auditor’s office would be controlled. One option, according to Chong and Fast, is to create a separate oversight committee or council so the municipal auditor doesn’t answer directly to a government minister. “The devil is in the detail,” Moore said. The municipal auditor issue goes to a vote of the convention Thursday. The draft resolution merely endorses the UBCM executive’s approach to the issue, but delegates may seek to amend it to make a more forceful statement.

Price effective the month of Oct/11

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The new roof installation was completed last week at Ruth and Naomi’s Mission site on Fletcher Street. Construction of the new $1 million building which will house and feed the community’s homeless has been ongoing since April, said board chair Wayne Massey. Project reps are exceedingly grateful for the generosity demonstrated by the many donations and supplies offered by local individuals and companies to offset project

costs. “The roof was built at nearly no charge to Ruth and Naomi’s,” said Massey. Fraser Valley Roofing contributed materials as well as about 100 hours of labour to the effort, with four full days of work put in by a team of eight to 10 roofers. Soprema donated $20,000 worth of roof waterproofing supplies. Kitchen facilities are being installed in the 8,000 sq. ft. building, and the framing is also underway. Ruth & Naomi’s Mission is a faith-based organization with more

than 400 volunteers who offer meals and comfort to Chilliwack’s homeless and less fortunate every day. “This new building will also enable us not only to do that better, but, it will also enable us to give transitional shelter housing to 30 people as they enroll in life improvement programs to reintegrate back into society as contributing citizens,” said Massey. The 3rd annual gala fundraiser to benefit Ruth and Naomi’s Mission is set for Nov. 30 at Best Western Rainbow Country Inn. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

“how to develop their visions into goals and action plans” and then to bring them to fruition.

City Council is Interested in Hearing your Concerns

Thanksgiving is just around the corner: a time to enjoy a long weekend with friends, family, and or course, food. While you may be looking forward to this year’s turkey feast, a festive dinner can cause concern for anyone watching their waistline and for good reason. The calories in a typical holiday feast can quickly add up – totaling up to 2000 or even 3000 calories in a single sitting. Unless you are planning on offset the calories by completing the Victoria marathon on Sunday, stick to proper portion sizes and make smarter choices to prevent the post-holiday bulge. Here are some tips to enjoy your Thanksgiving feast without feeling like a stuffed turkey. Exercise. A half hour brisk walk, jog, or circuit

workout will burn off some of the extra calories and keep you thinking of your health. Many people are more likely to want to eat healthy foods after working out. Have breakTanja fast. Don’t SHAW starve yourself to save up for dinner. Instead, eat a protein rich breakfast, such as Greek yogurt and berries, a protein shake, or an egg on toast. A small, healthy lunch will also keep you satisfied until dinner – making you less likely to overindulge. Enjoy your turkey. Turkey, or ham, is an excellent source of protein and the cornerstone of most Thanksgiving feasts. Stick to 3-6 ounces of meat (depending on your activity level and goals). White meat is extremely lean, making

it heart healthy. Skip the skin to save yourself five grams of saturated fat. Eat your greens. Veggies are full of fibre, vitamins, and minerals. They are also very low in calories – when prepared with health in mind. Opt for steamed or boiled vegetables such as beans, brussels sprouts, carrots or corn, or a side salad. Save 200 calories by skipping the butter. Enjoy the starches (mashed potatoes, yams, stuffing, dinner rolls) in moderation. . Half a cup of stuffing has about 200 calories, while a cup of mashed potatoes has between 175 and 250 calories, depending on how much butter was added. A cup of boiled yams has 158 calories. Three quarters of a cup of candied yams has 335 calories, the same number of calories burned during a 5 kilometre run. If you are hosting dinner, use butter sparingly while making the side dishes. If you are a guest, limit yourself to two half cup

portions of starches to finish your supper feeling comfortably full, not wishing you had an elastic waistband. Use the extras sparingly. Unless you want to add a few hundred extra calories to your dinner, be careful with sauces. If your gravy is made with cream and turkey fat, you may be packing away up to 60 calories per tablespoon – and remember that a tablespoon isn’t very much! Enjoy a bit of gravy with your turkey, not the other way around. A lowfat version of the real thing can be made with chicken stock, using corn starch or tapioca as a thickening agent. Use cranberry sauce sparingly as well – just because it is low in fat doesn’t mean it’s low in calories! Eat until you are satisfied – not stuffed. Not only will your pants still fit, but you will avoid being uncomfortably full. You can always enjoy your leftovers for lunch the next day, or make weekday meals from the extra turkey. Taste – don’t inhaleyour dessert. When you are stuffed with turkey, an array of tempting desserts inevitably appear on the table. You don’t have to be an expert in nutrition to know that cheesecake and pumpkin pie is not low-calorie fare. If you fancy dessert, enjoy a sample of your favourite dessert, but don’t feel obligated to polish your plate. If you would rather not indulge, but do not want to offend your host, request to take a piece to go. Happy Thanksgiving Chilliwack!

Cool weather care as tropical plants move back inside T he wet, cooler weather of these last few days has prompted many folks to bring their summer patio tropicals back inside. Actually, late August is the best time to recall your houseplants vacationing outside. The climatic change is not too abrupt at that time, and they will adapt more quickly to inside conditions. Half-hardy plants like fuchsias, geraniums and lantanas do not like normal household conditions and since they will tolerate light frosts, leave them outside just as long as you can, probably until the end of October. Several major problems arise, however, when tropical houseplants come back inside. Unwanted visitors often come back in with them. Many insects lay eggs on plants, and these eggs will hatch indoors and begin causing problems almost immediately. It would be wise to spray most of your plants with organic ‘Safer’s Insecticidal Soap’ or with the more broad spectrum ‘Trounce’. Spray three times five to seven days apart. For scale and other more challenging insects, horti-

CHILLIWACK

cultural oil, used at the growing season ratio, is also very effective. If you’re not sure if the oil will affect some plants, the rule is to spray a few leaves and wait 24 hours to see if any burning takes place. We have had great success with organic oils on all kinds of plants with little or no problems. Be sure to use the growing season ratio. It is more difficult for plants to Brian adapt to a houseMINTER hold climate, rather than to an outdoor environment. You really must create a somewhat humid condition around all these plants until they can tolerate the less humid indoor air. This is easily done by placing three to four long bamboo canes in the pot and draping clear poly over top of create a mini-hothouse. If you mist the foliage with warm water two to three times daily, you will be able to remove this tent in about seven to ten days. This may seem like a lot of work and can look a little tacky, but it will

make a tremendous difference in the quality of your plants. The secret to good maintenance on all plants during winter is plenty of light, lower room temperatures and proper watering. All plants will need higher light intensity during the short, often cloudy, winter days, so place them near indirect light, such as near windows on the north or east side of your home. Not only is it more economical to run your house temperatures lower, it is also more beneficial to your plants. Most tropicals will tolerate a low of 55˚F (10°C) but 62-65˚F (16-18°C) is most preferable during winter. If your furnace comes on less frequently, the air will be more humid. If you can, leave the summer fan running on your furnace for better air circulation. When you water all your indoor plants, water them thoroughly with warm water. The secret is to allow the soil to become dry before you water again. By picking up your plants and feeling their weight, you will instinctively know if they need water. Also, plants love to be root bound, so don’t repot them in large pots with volumes of soil.

Several major problems arise, however, when tropical houseplants come back inside.

Try this approach on your indoor plants, and I’m sure you will notice a tremendous difference. As far as other outdoor plants are concerned, leave them outside as long as you possibly can. Slips and cuttings can be taken

now, but ‘mother plants’, especially those near the house, can often stay out until the first real cold spell. You can protect them from heavy frosts with protective coverings like the new insulating clothes now available.

failed that math test – Well, there goes my A. My child’s teacher wants to talk with me after school – What have they done now? I’m new to this school – Everyone is going to dislike me. A colleague never returned my call – They must not like or respect me. Kids and teens have done it, as have parents and grandparents, teachers and coaches – in fact, at some point in our lives we have all made the mistake of jumping to conclusions about something. Yet one more thought error or cognitive distortion where our mind puts a spin on the events we see, and attaches a not-so-objective explanation of what we are experiencing. Jumping to conclusions can be defined as making a negative

interpretation about something even though there are no definite facts that convincingly support that conclusion. Rather than letting the evidence bring us to a logical conclusion, we set our sights on a conclusion (often negative), and Eryn then WICKER look for evidence to back it up, often ignoring evidence to the contrary. It’s a close cousin to other thought errors we have mentioned previously since conclusionjumpers often fall prey to mind reading (where they believe that they know the true intentions of others without talking to them) and fortune telling (predicting how things will turn out in the future and believing these predictions to be true). So why do we jump to conclusions, espe-

cially negative ones, so quickly? Well, we do a lot of things without an iota of thought, like breathing and blinking, and sometimes we jump or leap to conclusions in an attempt to make meaning of what we observe or experience - because humans are meaning-making creatures. Problems arise though because we tend to pick interpretations that fit our own existing view of the world, and thus if jumping to conclusions becomes a chronic problem we can get stuck in our own viewpoint, even when it doesn’t fit with reality. However, we owe it to ourselves and our kids and family members and colleagues to press the pause button before we jump to conclusions, and think about other potential explanations besides the one we automatically leapt to. Consider the following tips: • Focus on directly observable and tangible facts and events as these anchor us to reality and keep our

5-09F CF1

subjectivity subdued • Entertain different possibilities and interpretations • Resist unnecessary future predictions – you probably have enough going on in the present without worrying about or trying to control the future • Accept uncertainty and be content with not knowing what people are thinking or what might happen • Ask questions of others to help confirm or reject your interpretation So, maybe that math test was harder or you didn’t study as much. Or, maybe the teacher wants to ask you to volunteer or thank you for raising such a clear thinking child. Perhaps the other kids will think you are exciting and interesting because you are new. And perhaps the phone was broken or your colleague was busy.

Donizetti’s Anna Bolena kicks off “The Met: Live in HD” series at the Galaxy Cinemas at Eagle Landing.

Thrilling opera season comes to the big screen Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The Metropolitan Opera is coming to Galaxy Cinemas Chilliwack via satellite in highdefinition. It’s the sixth season Cineplex Entertainment has a full season of thrilling performances with its The Met: Live in HD in cinemas across Canada. But it’s the first time in Chilliwack, said Jay Haraga, general manager of Galaxy Cinemas at Eagle Landing.

They’ll be performing live from New York City as part of Cineplex’s Front Row Centre Events. The program was rolled out in major urban markets first, and is now making its way to smaller communities with a strong interest in the arts. “We’re excited to be bringing this series to Chilliwack,” he said. “That’s part of the mystique, offering an experience as if you’re there in New York City.” The entire 2010-11 season is on offer at Galaxy with 11 per-

formances transmitted to the big screen. The series kicks off with Donizetti’s Anna Bolena, a Met premiere production on Oct. 15. Soprano Anna Netrebko opens the season with her portrayal of the ill-fated queen driven insane by her unfaithful king. She sings one of opera’s greatest scenes depicting madness in this production by David McVicar. Ekaterina Gubanova is her rival, Jane Seymour, Ildar Abdrazakov sings Henry VIII,

and Marco Armiliato conducts. “The sound quality is really crisp,” Haraga told The Progress, describing the stateof-the-art 5.1 digital surround sound. “We’ve tested it and it almost feels like a stadium type experience.” The feedback they received from patrons who experienced the relatively new technology was that it was the next best thing to actually being there in person. “We’re expecting some good

“I had this great idea – it took the experts from Musicworx to made it a reality” When I went in to see Musicworx AVU, I had a vision of how I wanted our new Sutton Downtown Business Centre to look and function but I had no idea on how that could be accomplished. What I DO know is that I had very ambitious plans and a limited budget. Jim, Justin and the team at Musicworx took my ideas and ran with them – they designed an automated system and retroﬁtted the building to bring it into the new millennium. It was a pleasure dealing with them. They delivered what we wanted on time and on budget. Whenever we have had an issue, they’ve been incredibly responsive in getting us taken care of – we are all really impressed with their customer service. I believe in shopping local, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with my dealings with Musicworx AVU.

Refreshments will be served at the first one on Oct. 15. “We are delighted to once again offer The Met: Live in HD as this series is extremely popular with our guests,” said Cineplex entertainment VP Pat Marshall.

This presentation will transform the main theatre into Thumbelina’s world, with a projection screen the shape of a full moon and populated by a rainbow cast of mice, frogs, birds and bugs.

The return of Cousin Harley to Harrison is set for Saturday, Oct. 8 at 8 p.m. in Harrison Memorial Hall. This band has a hard-earned reputation for delivering everything from rockabilly to footstomping country and western swing. Anyone who loves Gretsch guitars, hot rods and boogeying the night away is in for a treat. From classic honky-tonk and cow-punk rippers, to western swing and classic jump blues, the band plays in the old tradition — slugging it out hot and heavy in roadhouses across the land. The trio features one of Vancouver’s best guitarists, Paul Pigat, joined by Keith Picot (The Twisters, etc) on upright bass and Jesse Cahill on drums to create an unstoppable rock ‘n roll wrecking crew. Cousin Harley first played Harrison at a wild, soldout show on Valentine’s Day in 2009. Tickets for the Oct. 8 show are $22, 604-796-3664 or online at www.harrisonfestival.com.

Clodhoppers Keynote Presenters:

CHRIS EMERY & LARRY FINNSON Chris Emery and Larry Finnson are two of Canada’s great entrepreneurs. As the creators of Clodhoppers candy they took Chris’ grandma’s recipe and developed it into a multi-million dollar business. Their youthful and energetic style and neversay-die attitude led Clodhoppers to a point where it was ranked amongst the top candy brands in Canada according to A.C. Nielsen’s data.

Canada said that yes, we did in fact have to appeal.” Working with the Bondra family, Smyl had all the documents in order and never had any doubt that Bondra’s arrival in the BCHL would be green-lighted. “Throughout this whole process I’ve been thoroughly impressed by how mature and responsible David has been,” Smyl said. “He’s just a solid, solid individual.” Bondra spent last season with the USHL’s Chicago Steel, putting up five goals and nine points in 58 games. “They were a poor team in a very good league, and some of that came into play with his point totals,” Smyl said. “But, having said that, he’s not a huge num-

bers guy at this point. Because he has such a good hockey mind and he has some skill, if he were to play in this league for a couple years he could make a bigger offensive contribution.” Bondra was planning on going back to Chicago again this season until the situation changed. “He tried out in Chicago again and they had a whole new coaching staff that wanted their own people and wanted to go in a new direction,” Smyl explained. “He went to another team, but he was late coming in and in the USHL they have their teams picked in June. So David was a victim of the situation and a friend of mine, a college coach, gave me

the heads up.” Bondra gets his next chance to impress the bench boss and local fans Saturday night as Chilliwack welcomes the Salmon Arm Silverbacks to Prospera Centre. The game will be a good test for the Chiefs, who won’t have the energy of opening night to feed off of. Just about everything went right for Chilliwack in the win over Penticton. If there was anything to knitpick about, it was in the amount of penalties they took. “But even with that, there was a ton of energy in that dressing room and on the bench, and they were trying to take that energy onto the ice,” Smyl said. “Sometimes that

leads to unnecessary penalties. I agree that penalties were an issue, but I’d rather see them energized and taking some of those penalties than see me having to kick them in the butt to get them going.” Smyl doesn’t expect his team to have the same energy level against the Silverbacks. But he doesn’t expect a moribund squad either. “We need to have work ethic and play energized, but I think we’ll have to have more controlled energy,” he said. “Against Penticton, it was just one of those nights where the coaches didn’t have to do much motivating.” Salmon Arm is winless to start the season, with back-to-back losses to the Vernon Vipers. The Silverbacks took

a 5-1 loss in Vernon on Friday, then dropped a 5-4 overtime decision back home on Saturday. Chilliwack will be facing an ornery and hungry squad. “I don’t know a whole bunch about them yet, but I know they’re very talented and they’re another team that will have a very good power play,” Smyl said. “The last couple years they’ve also been very disciplined. They don’t give you much in terms of power play opportunities.” Puck drop is 7 p.m. ● Get more Chiefs insight on page 36 as Jacob Bestebroer writes his first column of the year.

Chilliwack’s junior bantam Blue Giants downed the Chilliwack Red Giants 24-8 last Saturday to improve to 3-1 on the season. Quarterback Nick Both had a breakout game with over 200 yards rushing and three touchdowns. One of his majors came on a long punt return.

Running backs Tyler Sprott, Ethan Mastin and Cameron Lampart also produced big yards behind the blocking of Jaren and Michael Lengert. The Blue Giants rolled up over 400 yards of total offence. On defense, the Blue Giants were led by outside linebacker Kyle Helsloot and halfback

Spencer Breslin, with both turning in stellar efforts. A defensive line led by AJ Sagrott, Vincent Geisbrecht, and Chris Derksen was outstanding, allowing only two first downs in the first three quarters. Owen Eyres filled in capably at safety and halfback recording two tackles.

Jake Troyan recorded six tackles for a loss,

with Chad Staiger, Matt Lodge, Jordan Hurst and Colton Okoth also turning in key stops. On the Red Giant side, quarterback Brandt Davies had a solid outing, completing three passes. The only Red Giant touchdown came off a Davies to Michael Fewer connection. The offensive line of Hudson Harvey, Taj Sidhu, Kaylee Roger

and Ellie Kendall provided excellent protection. The Red Giants D surrendered 323 yards, but the bulk of that came on just a handful of runs. Har vey, Colin Campbell, Tommy Janzen, Nicholas Butler, Justin Crooks, Riley Egan and Andrew Locke played their hearts out in a losing cause.

The Atom Red Giants downed the Blue Giants 40-7 in another all-local matchup. In a game that was much closer than the score indicated, the Red Giants got off to a rough start. Blue Giants linebacker Dhillon Meyers was a wrecking ball, forcing several turnovers through tenacious tackling. The Red Giants finally settled down when tailback Kurtis Flynn

ripped off a touchdown run. The Blue Giants answered by driving inside the five yard line, led by running backs Samuel Mannes and Josh Janssen and the blocking of Corey Lamb. Just when it looked like they were about to tie the game, Red Giants defensive back Travis Richley intercepted a pass to snuff out the threat. On the last play

before halftime, Flynn broke six tackles and ran 103 yards to paydirt, giving his team a 16-0 lead. The second half opened with another long run by Flynn to complete the touchdown hat trick. The Blue Giants came back with a score of their own on a 60 yard touchdown scamper by Colton Holt. The Blue Giants defensive line led by Noah Kling, Liam

Perry, Keyan Devries and Paris Mastin played stifling D to give their team a chance. But Red Giants tailback Brendan Trotzuk entered the game late and led his team on a lengthy drive that killed the clock The game ended with Red Giants offensive lineman Ethan Paisley scoring his first ever touchdown on a trick play that left the Blue Giants shaking their heads in disbelief.

Perfect start for new Chiefs Chilliwack’s return to the BCHL Saturday night, a 7-1 home-ice win over the favoured Penticton Vees, could not have been scripted any better. From the pre-game ceremonies through to the end-of-game salute by the players to the fans, it was a sight to behold. Over 400 players have worn a Chiefs uniform since 1990 and it was nice to see so many of them in attendance. It was awesome to see them all discuss old times. The re-introduction of mascot Chief Wannawin was a great bit of magic by Damien Carriere, and blew my mind both in the rehearsal and before the game. I was up close both times and

The post-game salute by the team to the fans at centre ice after the final buzzer was THE highlight of the night, writes JACOB BESTEBROER still have no clue how it was done. Mitch Gillam’s performance in goal was exactly what the Chiefs needed. He was technically sound and looked to be a calming influence on the rest of the team. It’s early, but he’s shown through training camp, pre-season and now the first game of the regular season that he has the ability to be one of the best in the league. His biggest save came early in the third period when he kicked out his left pad in tight to take away what looked to be a sure goal. The score at that time was 4-1. Had he not made that save, who knows what type of momentum we would have seen the Vees gain. Just a few minutes

later, the fourth line of Jeremy Gossard, Garrett Forster and Jaret Babych had a great shift that led to the 5-1 goal by Gossard. Gossard was the only one of the three with any junior A experience (one game), so it was nice to see that trio play an important role. They were rewarded for their efforts with some time on the power play late in the game. The feel good story of the night had to be the play of forward Josh Hansen. Josh was a Chiefs fan growing up and in his first game in a Chilliwack uniform (he was a Chief in Langley last year as well) he scored twice and was the game’s first star. But based on the feedback I’ve gotten from fans, the post-

game salute by the team to the fans at centre ice right after the final buzzer was THE highlight of the night. The fans were a big part of that game and it was a nice show of appreciation from the players. Speaking of the fans, that was the highlight for me. More than 3,000 of you were there to cheer on an organization that obviously means a great deal to you. Many of you dug out your old Chiefs uniforms, t-shirts and hats and wore them to the game. That so many of you still have those items after the team’s five year hiatus from Chilliwack shows how important the Chiefs are to this town. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

Ex-Bruin skates off to Sweden After three years with the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League, the minor league affiliate of the Nashville Predators, Burnaby native and former Chilliwack Bruin Mark Santorelli is taking his skills to Sweden. Santorelli has signed a oneyear contract with Tingsryd of the Swedish second division. Last season with the Admirals, Santrolli scored eight goals and added 13 assists in 64 games.

In his three years in the Predators organization, Santorelli had 20 goals and 32 assists in 185 games. In his final year of junior with Chilliwack, he led the Western Hockey League in scoring with 101 points. Santorelli held the Bruins franchise record for career points until he was surpassed by Calgary Flames draftee Ryan Howse last year. When he was 17 years old, in

2005-06, Santorelli had 55 points in 59 games with the Burnaby Express as they won the national junior A championship. Nashville selected Santorelli in the fourth round, 119th overall, in the 2007 NHL entry draft. His older brother Mike, was selected in the sixth of the 2004 draft by Nashville. He played all 82 games in the NHL last season for the Florida Panthers scoring 20 goals and 41 points.
